| Barton: Angry |
Well knock me down, Cesc Fabregas has signed for Barcelona? I did not see this coming. I don’t know how Barcelona managed to keep this so quiet and maintain such dignity in the process.....Is there anybody who didn’t breathe a sigh of relief when this tedious saga was finally brought to an end?
The departure of Fabregas and the supposedly imminent departure of Samir Nasri have prompted a flurry of obituaries for Arsene Wenger’s career. Ridiculously short sighted but then that is football in a nutshell. Arsenal are written off every season and whilst losing Fabregas is a massive blow I won’t be writing them off anytime soon. That is until we reach April and they have their annual collapse, THEN I will write them off
Wenger is being urged to SPEND SPEND SPEND which sounds easy in principle but the whole of the football world now know Arsenal have got the Fabregas (and potentially Nasri) money sat in their current account! Similar to the Fernando Torres – Andy Carroll scenario, Arsenal will find their 40-50m isn’t going to stretch very far. As far as Liverpool are concerned I hope any spending spree is curtailed until after Saturday’s game!
The new season might only be one weekend old but The Joey Barton Show is well and truly underway again (yawn). If he isn’t spouting philosophical shite on Twitter he is causing controversy on the pitch. If Barton had kept his fists out of the Gervinho penalty saga he probably would of come out of Saturday as a victim of sorts, but Barton being Barton can’t resist the lures of a “ruck”. It makes his sudden discovery of some kind of moral code even funnier. There’s no amount of quoting the greats of the literature world that can make Joey Barton seem like any less of a cunt. For him to accuse Gervinho of diving and then throw himself to the floor after taking a brush to his face shows him up to be the hypocrite he is.
It’s as if Barton is trying to expose the sins of football through Twitter, but he really is on shaky ground. I’ve never been to jail or stubbed a cigarette out in someones eye and I don’t try to play Mr Morals on Twitter so why is he. Changed man my eye. The guy has got a list of misdemeanours as long as the London rioters.....collectively. He’s trying too hard to come across as a reformed character through Twitter but each one of his tweets is more cringeworthy than the last one and don’t get me started on that poor excuse for a haircut.
Robbie Keane has completed a move to another of his boyhood clubs, LA Galaxy. I’m really looking forward to hearing the criticism Harry Redknapp is going to get for making such a huge loss on the fee he paid for him in the first place, you know like Rafa Benitez did, and still does actually. Infact, he has made an even bigger loss than Benitez so I can trust the British press to get their knives out for Harry. Anything less would surely be hypocritical, and our media definitely aren’t a gang of bigoted, hypocritical, biased tossers who definitely don’t lick that saggy faced moron’s arse .
Finally, I had to laugh that Steve Kean was found guilty of drink driving. Not only is he a shit manager, he is also a pretty dreadful human being. That is going to be one lonely walk through the streets of Blackburn when he is inevitably fired by the chicken people.
